(128,860 posts)so maybe he is thinking they could nominate him for either a District/Appeals Court Judge (he clerked in those positions before) or maybe as a U.S. Attorney.
Seems the "judge" might be more the possibility given it is a "lifetime" position.

For decades, Republicans kept saying that if they only had full control of the reins of government, boy, you'd really see some governance then, boy. They've had untrammeled power for just over a year, and dozens of them are scurrying for the exits.

(32,080 posts)Gowdy replaced long-time Congressman Bob Inglis, who got teabagged by Gowdy. Inglis is what many would now consider a "moderate" republican, who supports things like scientific facts. The district does contain Greenville, which has a fair number of moderate/left-leaning typs, so the Dems snagging this seat is not out of the realm of possibility. I wouldn't get my hopes up, however.
